The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority is headquartered in a luxury high rise building where employees enjoy VIP amenities like a fitness center, rock climbing wall, an infrared sauna, a cold plunge and a helipad

Democrats are getting filthy rich and living a life of luxury off the necessary suffering of the homeless

Ohh speaking of salaries, I looked up how much LAHSA employees are getting paid

- Chief Executive Officer, Va Lecia Adams Kellum, $491,908
- Chief Financial Officer, Janine Trejo, $299,912
- Deputy Chief, Systems, Nathaniel VerGow, $257,196
- Chief of Staff, Rachel Johnson, $252,079
- Chief Operating Officer, Tifara Monroe, $248,367
- Deputy Chief Talent Officer, Keshia Douglas, $246,818
- Director, Risk Management, Holly Henderson, $233,315
- Deputy Chief External Relations Officer, Paul Rubenstein, $220,732
- Director, IT, Aamir Shaikh, $220,495
- Director, Contracts & Procurement, Lucy Lin, $218,795

No one with access to all these amenities and all making well over $220,000+ dollars per year is going to work to end homelessness, they’re going to work to make sure homelessness get worse and worse for job security and to make more money

We are being robbed blind

All these spices at Walmart with the new digital price tags are wrong. They tell you the cost per ounce, but if you multiply that by the product’s weight, many of them are overcharging. By a lot

Tone’s Restaurant Black Pepper:
- Unit price on tag: $0.98 per ounce
- Size: 8 oz
- Unit price × size: $0.98 × 8 = $7.84
- Shelf price: $8.82
- Overcharging by $0.98

McCormick Italian Seasoning
- Unit price on tag: $2.26 per ounce
- Size: 2.25 oz
- Unit price × size: $2.26 × 2.25 = $5.09
- Shelf price: $7.33
- Overcharging by $2.24

- McCormick lemon pepper is overcharging by $2.03
- Kinder’s Seasoning is overcharging by $0.46
- Kinder’s Butcher Blend Seasoning is overcharging by $0.57

There is something I want to point out to hopefully give you a new perspective on this

At first you might thing this is just an accident or perhaps just some kind of system error

But think of this, not one error has the price lower… every single one has the price higher

This isn’t an error, charging more like this adds up to millions and millions of dollars over all their thousands of stores

We are being robbed blind

@historyrock_ Why does the headboard look like 2 headboards??

[Tony Seruga @TonySeruga]

Look at this chart.
These are American residency programs.

Red = foreign resident doctors.
Grey = Americans.

Some hospitals are almost 100% foreign. A lot of these doctors came in on visas. Some have been tied to fake credentials and USMLE cheating scandals.

I pay the premiums. I wait months to be seen. Taxpayer-funded Medicare GME money(over $21 billion a year) is training these foreign doctors instead of Americans.

And I DO NOT even trust these doctors!

Why should we keep funding this?

The first 3D printed meat is being sold in America

“It's part of a wave of engineered meat heading for American plates. 5 lab grown producers already cleared and no law requires the label to say it was printed”

The 5 companies that have approval for lab grown meat with cultured animal cells are

So these are the 5 companies?

UPSIDE Foods for chicken
GOOD Meat for chicken
Mission Barns for pork fat
Wildtype for salmon
Believer Meats for chicken

UPSIDE Foods and GOOD Meat cleared USDA and is selling cell-cultivated chicken right now in restaurants, not in grocery stores chains yet

Wildtype’s salmon is FDA cleared and is already on the menu in a handful of restaurants

The company Mission Barns got USDA label and inspection sign-off and already has a limited Sprouts placement in Oakland for products that mix cultivated pork fat into conventional meat

A realistic estimate to when we can start seeing this on the grocery stores shelves would be around 2030

Many of what’s being made is cell cultured meat for restaurants and not 3D printed yet

However plant based 3d printed meat is already on our grocery store shelves

Let me explain what’s happening here.

Between now and December, New York State, New York City and their public authorities plan to sell $8 billion in bonds. Take out the refinancing, and $4.7 billion of it is brand-new borrowing.

So congrats, New York. You just added $4.7 billion to your credit card bill, on top of a $217 billion tab you're already carrying.

Here's the part nobody in Albany says out loud: the payment on that debt has grown to an estimated $1.5 billion a month!

Debt gets paid first. Before a single cop. Before a single teacher. Before one pothole is filled.

And we're not the ones who'll finish paying it off. These bonds run 20 and 30 years. This is debt we're handing to our kids and grandkids, a bill they never voted for and can't refuse.

And it gets announced with a one-line post and a spreadsheet, as if it's routine.

It shouldn't be routine.

The Comptroller is supposed to be the taxpayer's watchdog, not the scheduler for more debt.

I've spent my career in capital markets. I know what this paper costs and who ends up paying for it. You do, and so will your children.

New York deserves a Comptroller who asks "why?" before signing off.

🚨BREAKING: Lisa Domski had spent nearly 38 years at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan when the company introduced its COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Domski, a devout Catholic, asked for a religious exemption. She wrote that the vaccines available at the time had been developed or tested using fetal cell lines from abortions, and that taking one would violate her faith.

Her job was 100% remote. She had no in-person contact with coworkers. The company denied her exemption anyway and fired her.

She won a $12.7 MILLION lawsuit for being wrongfully fired! Justice is served.

A new report just analyzed 174,000 primary care doctors in America and almost 900,000 negotiated prices for basic office visits

🚨 The report shows that as soon as a Big Insurance Company contracts with a doctor, office visit prices go up 28% for patients

Blue Cross, Cigna, Elevance, UnitedHealth were all analyzed and it shows Big Insurance companies aren���t bringing costs down, they’re making them more expensive

US healthcare is a scam. This is ridiculous

What’s horrifying is how widespread this issue already is, I found that 82% of physicians in America are already already by corporate entities like private equity and big insurance companies

Only 11.9% of physicians are in solo practices and that’s down from 2024 where it was 18.4%

This shows how fast big insurance is moving. Soon they’ll own everyone and then prices will just keep going up

NEW: It was JUST REVEALED that during the Biden Admin approved over 99% of applications to Sponsor Unaccompanied Migrant Children

🚨 Who was the person in charge of the vetting approvals? California Governor candidate Xavier Becerra

- In 2024, Office of Refugee Resettlement denied less than 1% of sponsor applications for unaccompanied migrant children, 99% approval rate
- From 2021 to 2024, about 479,000 unaccompanied children were referred to ORR, Xavier Becerra’s HHS data put the total cared for from October 2020 to September 2024 at 468,736

- 11,488 children were placed with sponsors who were not a parent of legal guardian
- 79,143 children under 12 were released without a home study, including 1,961 cases where a home study had been recommended

Between October 1, 2023 and October 31, 2024, Office of Refugee Resettlement logged 1,669 fraud reports, 85% involved intentional document fraud

Attached is a video of supporting evidence showing how Xavier Becerra is directly responsible from previous leaked recordings

NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen."

Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them.

"The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch."

"So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year."

"We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars."

In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice.

In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid.

It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions.

The hospital found out Gail Seiler was unvaccinated for COVID. Then they tried to MURDER her.

They STARVED her for 12 days, denied her water for 7 days, and told her husband she was going to die.

When her husband came to take her home, the hospital made her a PRISONER.

They called the police, and a 6-hour standoff followed.

When the hospital finally let them go, it wasn’t through the main entrance. It was through the freight elevator used to carry bodies to the morgue.

On the way out, a nurse told her husband, Brad, “Mark my words, she’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.”

Gail survived. Not because of a miracle, but because a caring physician stepped in and guided her home treatment: nebulized budesonide and ivermectin.

BRAD SEILER: “Over the next 30 days, she was weaned completely off of oxygen. Within 60 days, she had recovered sufficiently to return to work. Today, Gail is alive, healthy, active, and
enjoying life with our grandchildren and children.”

Gail’s story is horrendous, but it’s not uncommon. Hospitals were rewarded with perverse bonuses during COVID, and the more interventions they ran, the more they made.

As Attorney @RenzTom previously testified: “We have incentivized the MURDER of patients rather than incentivize TREATMENT.”

“When you go to the hospital, you get tested. They get paid more. When you get admitted for COVID, they get paid more. When they put you on remdesivir, they get paid more. When you get ventilated, they get paid more. When you die, they get paid more. This is perverse.”

🚨 GM DOESN’T WANT YOU CHECKING YOUR OWN OIL ANYMORE — THEY HAVE REMOVED THE DIPSTICK FROM NEW TRUCKS

General Motors is removing one of the most basic tools under the hood of its new trucks:

The oil dipstick.

No pulling it out.
No wiping it clean.
No physically checking your oil yourself.

Instead, GM says newer engine hardware made it difficult to package a traditional dipstick, so engineers replaced it with an electronic oil-level sensor that lets drivers check their oil from inside the cab.

But it was the way they explained it that really set people off.

“We were able to delete the dipstick...”

Delete the dipstick.
Replace it with electronics.
Trust the sensor.

And truck owners are already roasting the decision:

“So now I need a computer to tell me something a $10 metal stick has done perfectly for 100 years?”

“Just another simple part they turned into an expensive sensor that can fail”

“Nobody asked for this. Give me the damn dipstick back”

To GM, it’s new technology and convenience.
To pissed off truck owners, it’s another dirt simple mechanical feature being replaced by something electronic they’ll eventually have to trust... or potentially repair.

Why does every “upgrade” somehow end with drivers having less control over their own vehicles?

WOAH 🚨 All these vehicles aren’t parked along the road for no reason, if you follow them they lead to a hidden massive Muslim Islam event

The isn’t Dearborn, this is Indianapolis, Indiana. THIS is the Islamic takeover of America. It’s growing, organizing and spreading

The Muslim population is growing in Indiana and they’re now up to roughly 45 mosques, IN INDIANA. There are roughly 18 mosques in Indianapolis

This shows you it’s spreading everywhere
